You're joining a learning model with demonstrated results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform, scaling rapidly across the US and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and score in the top national percentiles. The effectiveness is proven. What's needed now is someone who thinks constantly about the people using it.

You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and develop the function. Your domain includes our learning platform and its connected learning applications, serving multiple audiences within and beyond Alpha.
A five-year-old who can't yet read learns counting through a system that must transform novelty into play. A teenager performing two grades below level is restoring confidence after years of setbacks, where a single unclear interaction could reverse progress. A parent gains insight into their child's actual learning process. That transparency reduces worry and enables them to support effectively. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom must track progress without information overload. You must understand each user deeply enough to make fundamentally distinct design decisions for each.

Your responsibility is the experience layer: conduct thorough research on each audience, translate findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that function immediately—not mockups awaiting approval. You collaborate with product leaders accountable for outcomes and engineers who deliver working code. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You have complete ownership.

You'll leverage AI to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, but your professional judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what launches. Primary focus remains our education platform, with occasional work in additional domains.
